More than blessed

I was sitting through my Contemporary Worlds lecture last week and we were talking about how these foreign workers are the people who take on the jobs which, in the eyes of Malaysians, are kind of...degrading? So I was just thinking about it the other day and a thought came to mind.

These people take on jobs such as janitors, rubbish collectors, etc and some people might be thinking, "Why would they take on such jobs?" 

And then there's us. Whether we are 'rich' or'average', most of us are still pretty much complacent with life. But these people, maybe they take on such jobs cause..well, they have nothing to lose in the first place. Earning something is better than not earning anything.

On the other hand, we already have everything we need; and for us, doing such things would just be too much to lose.

I guess all I'm trying to say is, be thankful for what you already have. 

How to lose friends and make enemies (Not a social experiment.)

Inspired by "Dustyhawk". (Disclaimer: This post has nothing to do with him, nor does it relate to any of his 'doings'. I just thought I might write another 'How-To' post :D)


First of all, remember that you made friends with those people at one point in time. I mean, one can't really lose friends when in the first place he or she never had any friends to begin with, right? Losing friends and eventually, making enemies, is a gradual process. It takes time, but not too long; that you can bet on. :p

STEP 1
'Accidentally' call them by someone else's name

STEP 2
Stop replying their messages. If you feel bad for a start, take it slow. Just keep replying with one of these:
k
haha
lol
cool
really
oh i see
gtg, bye

STEP 3
Make them pay for your meals and don't pay them back later on

STEP 4
Tell on them whenever they miss classes or lectures

STEP 5
Gossip about them right in front of them

STEP 6
Don't give them a chance to speak. Or in other words, just keep interrupting their every sentence

STEP 7
Insult their partners

STEP 8
But hang out with them (their partners)

STEP 9
Make promises, and break them

STEP 10
Just pretend they don't exist

And that's how you "Lose Friends and Make Enemies"! ^__^ Simple, right?

By the way, there is a reason why I wrote this post. I just wanted to remind people (including myself) that, these things do hurt your 'friends', and if you continue doing any of these things, you might just lose a friend.
